Choose a BI Reporting Tool that Tells You What You Need to Know!

‘A BI reporting tool that enables users to customize their view and approach and is easy to understand and use will make the user more productive and ensure Return on Investment (ROI).’

If you are considering a Business Intelligence or Augmented Analytics solution, be sure to select a software suite that provides your business users with personalized dashboards, multidimensional key performance indicators, and KPI tools, report software, Crosstab and Tabular reports, GeoMaps and deep dive analytics with 100% browser based interface and self-serve features that encourage and support Social BI and collaboration.

Every business has unique reporting and documentation needs. Whether you are a business user or an analyst or IT professional, you use augmented analytics and BI tools in a way that is meaningful to your role. Gathering, preparing and analyzing is important but the final step in this process is equally important and that task often frustrates the user more than anything. Excel, cross-tab and tabular reporting are helpful, but those report and documentation options typically present data in columns and rows.
